Table 17:

Compounds 17.1 to 17.396 are compounds of Formula V (X═N and Z═O) wherein the substituents R₂, R₃, and R₇ are defined in Table 16.

Table 18:

Compounds 18.1 to 18.396 are compounds of Formula VII (X═N and Z═NH) wherein the substituents R₂, R₃, and R₇ are defined in Table 16.

As used in Tables 1 to 18 Ph is understood to be phenyl.

Scheme A describes the preparation of compounds of the Formula (I). where X is CH or N, and Z is O (compounds of formula IV and V). The cyclopropyl oximes (III) are reacted with the appropriately substituted benzyl derivatives (II) where Z is a halogen, such as bromo., chloro or iodo, preferably a benzyl bromide. A cyclopropyl substituted oxime represented by the general formula (III) is treated, at room temperature, with an appropriate base to form an anion, followed by the addition of the benzyl bromides (II). Typical bases employed are metal hydrides such as sodium hydride, alkoxides such as sodium methoxide and hydroxide bases such as sodium or potassium hydroxide and alkali bases such as sodium or potassium carbonate. Typical solvents employed with hydride bases are N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and tetrahydrofuran (THF); with hydroxide bases DMF, THF, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) and acetone and with alkali bases solvents such as DMF, acetone, and MEK.

As shown in Scheme A, the N--O bond in C(R₂)═N--O--, appears in the E position (assuming ##STR15## is the larger substituent), It should be recognized that the Z isomer can also be produced as well as mixtures. When isomers are produced they are designated isomer A (higher R₁ on thin layer chromatography) and isomer B (lower R₁ on thin layer chromatography). The determination of which isomer, A or B possesses the E or Z geometry can be made by such conventional techniques as X ray crystallography or by spectroscopic means such as nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. For the compounds of the present invention isomer A has been assigned the E iminoxy configuration and isomer B, the Z iminoxy configuration. ##STR16##

Compounds of formula IV (X is CH) are prepared by alkylation with methyl E-α-(2-bromomethylphenyl)-β-methoxyacrylate in the presence of a base, preferably NaOH or KOH, in a solvent, preferably acetone or methyl ethyl ketone. Methyl E-α-(2-bromomethylphenyl)-β-methoxyacrylate, as a single E isomer, can be prepared in two steps from 2-methylphenylacetate as described previously in U.S. Pat. No. 4,914,128, columns 3-4. Compounds of formula V (X═N) are prepared by the reaction with methyl E-2-(bromomethyl)phenylglyoxylate O-methyloxime in the presence of a base, preferably NaOH or KOH, in a solvent, preferably acetone or methyl ethyl ketone. Methyl 2-(bromomethyl)phenylglyoxylate O-methyloxime can be prepared as described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,999,042, columns 17-18 and 5,157,144, columns 17-18. Methyl 2-(bromomethyl)phenylglyoxylate O-methyloxime is prepared from methyl 2-methylphenyl-acetate by treatment with an alkyl nitrite under basic conditions to provide after methylation, methyl 2-methyl-phenylglyoxalate O-methyl oxime which can also be prepared from methyl 2-methyl-phenylglyoxalate by treatment with 2-hydroxylamine hydrochloride and methylation or by treatment with methoxylamine hydrochloride. ##STR17##

As shown in scheme B compounds of formula VII (X is N) can be prepared by the aminolysis of oximinoacetate (V). The aminolysis of oximinoacetate to oximinoacetamides has been described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,185,342, cols. 22, 48 and 57, U.S. Pat. No. 5,221,691, cols. 26-27 and U.S. Pat. No. 5,407,902 , col. 8. For example, compounds of Table 2 of formula V where X is N and Z is O are treated with 40% aqueous methylamine in methanol to provide compounds of Table 3 of formula VII where Z is NH. Alternatively, as is shown in scheme B intermediate unsaturated oximes (III) are reacted with N-methyl (E)-2-methoxyimino-2-[2-(bromomethyl)phenyl]-acetamide in the presence of a base such as an hydroxide base preferably in a solvent such as acetone or methyl ethyl ketone to provide compounds of Table II of formula (VII). N-methyl (E)-2-methoxy-imino-2-[2-(bromomethyl)phenyl]acetamide is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,387,714, col. 13.

The oximes of the general formula (III) can be obtained, as shown in scheme C, by reacting the corresponding cyclopropyl aldehyde or ketone (VIII) with hydroxylamine hydrochloride from room temperature to reflux, preferably at room temperature, in an appropriate solvent such as methanol or ethanol in the presence of an appropriate alkali such as sodium hydroxide, potassium carbonate or pyridine. A general description of the synthesis of oximes with hydroxylamine is described in March, Advanced Organic Chemistry, 4th Ed, pp. 906-907 and references therein. The oximes of the general formula (III) when obtained as a mixture of syn or anti oxime isomers can be separated into individual isomers and alkylated as described in scheme A and B. When a mixture of oximes of the general formula (III) are used in Scheme A and B the compounds of the formula IV, V and VII can be separated into their individual isomers by conventional chromatographic techniques. ##STR18##

The cyclopropyl aldehydes or ketones (VIII) can be prepared by conventional techniques. The unsaturated intermediate IX (scheme D) is reacted with a sulfur ylide, prepared from a dimethylsulfoxonium salt in the presence of a base, resulting in the substituted acyl cyclopropanes, VIII. The chemistry of sulfur ylides is described in Trost and Melvin, Sulfur Ylids, Academic Press, New York, N.Y. 1975 and in Block, Reactions of Organosulfur Compounds, pp. 91-123, Academic Press, New York, N.Y. 1978. Typical reaction conditions for sulfur ylide formation from a dimethylsulfoxonium salt utilizes bases such as hydroxides, metal hydrides and alkoxides in solvents such as dimethoxy-ethane, dimethylsulfoxide and water depending on the base employed. The reactions are conducted from 0 to 20° C. preferably from 10-15° C. and preferably with alkali metal hydroxides in dimethylsulfoxide. Typically dimethylsulfoxonium methylide is prepared from trimethylsulfoxonium iodide in dimethylsulfoxide in the presence of powdered sodium hydroxide at room temperature. Cyclopropyl aldehydes or ketones are added dropwise to the ylide and stirred at room temperature. ##STR19##

The oximes of the general formula (III') in which R₂ is C(R₁₀)═N--OR₉ ; can be obtained, as shown in scheme E. The ketones, X, wherein R₁₀ is not H, or the aldehydes R₁₀ is H, are reacted with an alkyl nitrite such as t-butylnitrite or isoamylnitrite under basic conditions to provide the corresponding α-oximino cyclopropylketones XI. Typically the cyclopropyl ketone or aldehydes in a solvent such as t-butanol and the alkyl nitrite, typically t-butylnitrite, is added to a solution t-butanol containing a base such as potassium t-butoxide and is stirred at room temperature. The α-hydroxyimino cyclopropylketones XI are alkylated to the α-(substituted)oximino cyclopropylketones XII. The keto cyclopropyloxime XII are treated as in Scheme C to provide the bisoximes III'. ##STR20##

The α,β-unsaturated aldehydes or ketones IX can be prepared by conventional condensation techniques. A extensive description of the synthesis of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes or ketones (enones) is described in March, Advanced Organic Chemistry, 4th Ed, pp. 937-955 and references therein. For example Organic Reactions, Volume 16 describes the general aldol condensation of ketones and aldehydes. For intermediates of formula IX of this invention, in general the ketones or aldehydes can be R₇ COR₆ where R₇ and R₆ are defined previously. When R₆ is hydrogen the aldehydes are for example substituted benzaldehydes or heterocyclic aldehydes. The ketones can be R₂ COCH₂ R₃ where R₂ and R₃ are described previously. Typically the ketone, R₂ COCH₂ R₃, is dissolved in a hydroxylic solvent, such as methanol or ethanol, to which is added dropwise the aldehyde R₇ COR₆ followed by the base or alternatively a solution of the aldehyde in an aqueous basic solution is added. The typical bases used can be alkali metal hydroxides, such as barium, potassium or sodium hydroxide and the dropwise addition is conducted from 0° C. to 35° C. preferably at ambient temperature. When the enone is derived from acetone (R₂ is methyl and R₃ is hydrogen) the solvent is preferably acetone to which is added R₇ COR₆ followed by the aqueous hydroxide solution. ##STR21##

Alternatively the α,β-unsaturated cyclopropyl ketones VIII can be prepared from cyclopropyl nitriles XIV which are prepared via cyclopropanation of the acrylonitriles XIII as is described in Scheme F. The acrylonitriles XIII starting materials, shown in Scheme F can be prepared by conventional synthetic methods as described in March, Advanced Organic Chemistry, 4th Ed, pp. 937-955 and references therein. For example the nitrile derivative R₃ CH₂ CN is condensed with the ketone or aldehyde R₇ COR₆ in the presence of a base to provide the acrylonitriles XIII. Preferably R₃ in R₃ CH₂ CN is an aryl or heteroaryl group as defined previously for R₃. Typically the a nitrile is dissolved in a solvent such as ethanol and water to which is added the aldehyde or ketone followed by a base. Typical bases used can be alkali metal hydroxides, such as barium, potassium or sodium hydroxide and the mixture is stirred typically at ambient temperature.

The acrylonitrile XIII is treated as is described in Scheme D with a sulfur ylide to provide the cyclopropyl nitrites XIV. The cyclopropyl nitrile XIV is transformed to the cyclopropyl ketones by organometallic addition to the nitrile followed by hydrolysis. For example the standard Grignard reagents R₂ MgX or organolithium reagents, R₂ Li add to the nitrile functionality to provide the ketones VIII'. The addition reaction to nitrites are described in March, Advanced Organic Chemistry, 4th Ed, pp.935-936 and references cited therein.

The cyclopropyl nitrile XIV can be transformed to the cyclopropyl aldehydes VIII' (where R₂ is H) by standard reductive methods such as with diisobutylaluminum hydride (DiBAL). The formation of aldehydes from the reduction of nitrites is described in March, Advanced Organic Chemistry, 4th Ed, pp.919-920 and references cited therein.

A direct synthesis of compounds of the formula V or VII is shown in Scheme G. Compounds of the Formula V or VII can be prepared directly from the functionalized cyclopropyl ketones or aldehydes, VIII, by condensation with the aminoxy intermediate XV. The preparation of aminoxy intermediate XV is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5194662. The aminoxy intermediate XV is prepared in a two step sequence by the alkylation of II (where X is N) with N-hydroxyphthalimide which is treated with hydrazine to provide XV. The aminoxy intermediate XV is condensed with ketones or aldehydes VIII to provide V and specifically with the cyclopropane ketones XII to provide V'. The compounds of the formula V are treated as shown in scheme B to provide VII. ##STR22##

EXAMPLE 12

Numerous compounds of this invention were tested for fungicidal activity in vivo against the diseases described below. The compounds were dissolved in a 1:1 mixture of acetone and methanol 2:1:1 or N,N-dimethylformamide and diluted with a 2:1:1 mixture of water, acetone and methanol (by volume) to achieve the appropriate concentration. The solution was sprayed onto the plants and allowed to dry for two hours. Then the plants were inoculated with fungal spores. Each test utilized control plants which were sprayed with the appropriate solvent and inoculated. For these protective tests, the plants were inoculated one day after treating the plants with the compounds of this invention. The remainder of the technique of each of the tests is given below along with the results for various compounds described herein by the Compound # against the various fungi at a dose of 100 or 150 grams per hectare. The results are percent disease control as compared to the untreated check wherein one hundred was rated as complete disease control and zero as no disease control. The application of the test fungal spores to the test plants was as follows:

Wheat Leaf Rust (WLR) Puccinia recondita (f. sp. tritici) was cultured on 7-day old wheat (cultivar Fielder) over a 12-day period in the greenhouse. Spores were collected from the leaves by settling on aluminum foil. The spores were cleaned by sieving through a 250-micron opening screen and stored dry. The dried spores were used within one month. A spore suspension was prepared from dry uredia by adding 20 mg (9.5 million spores) per ml of Soltrol oil. The suspension was dispensed into gelatin capsules (0.7 ml capacity) which attach to the oil atomizers. One capsule is used per flat of twenty 2-inch square pots of 7-day old plants, cultivar Fielder. After waiting for at least 15 minutes for the oil to evaporate from the wheat leaves, the plants were placed in a dark mist chamber (18-20° C. and 100% relative humidity) for 24 hours. The plants were then placed in the greenhouse and evaluated after 12 days for disease.

Wheat Leaf Blotch (SNW)

Cultures of Septoria nodorum was maintained on Czapek-Dox V-8 juice agar plates in an incubator at 20° C. with alternating periods of 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness for 2 weeks. A water suspension of the spores was obtained by shaking the portion of the plate with fungal material in deionized water and filtering through cheesecloth. The spore-containing water suspension was diluted to a spore concentration of 3.0×10⁶ spores per ml. The inoculum was dispersed by a DeVilbiss atomizer over one-week old Fielder wheat plants which had been previously sprayed with the fungicide compound. The inoculated plants were placed in a humidity cabinet at 20° C. with alternating 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness for 7 days. The inoculated seedlings were then moved to a controlled environment room at 20° C. for 2 days of incubation. Disease control values were recorded as percent control.

Wheat Powdery Mildew (WPM)

Erysiphe graminis (f. sp. tritici) was cultured on wheat seedlings, cultivar Fielder, in a controlled temperature room at 18° C. Mildew spores were shaken from the culture plants onto 7-day old wheat seedlings which had been previously sprayed with the fungicide compound. The inoculated seedlings were kept in a controlled temperature room at 18° C. and subirrigated. The percent disease control was rated 7 days after the inoculation. Disease control values were recorded as percent control.

Cucumber Powdery Mildew (CPM)

Sphaerotheca fulginea was maintained on cucumber plants, cultivar Bush Champion, in the greenhouse. Inoculum was prepared by placing five to ten heavily mildewed leaves in a glass jar with 500 ml of water containing 1 drop of Tween 80 (polyoxyethylene monooleate) per 100 ml. After shaking the liquid and leaves, the inoculum was filtered through cheese cloth and misted onto the plants with a squirt bottle mister. The spore count was 100,000 spores/ml. The plants were then placed in the greenhouse for infection and incubation. The plants were scored seven days after inoculation. Disease control values were recorded as percent control.

Tomato Late Blight (TLB)

Cultures of Phytophthora infestans were maintained on green pea-amended agar for two to three weeks. The spores were washed from the agar with water and dispersed with a DeVilbiss atomizer over the leaves of 3-week old Pixie tomato plants which had been previously treated with compound of the present invention. The inoculated plants were placed in a humidity cabinet at 20° C. for 24 hours for infection. The plants were then removed to a controlled environment room at 20° C. and 90% humidity. The plants were scored for disease control after five days.

Grape Downy Mildew (GDM)

Plasmopara viticola was maintained, leaves of grape plants, cultivar Delaware, in a controlled temperature chamber at 20° C. in humid air with moderate light intensity for 7 to 8 days. A water suspension of the spores from infested leaves was obtained and the spore concentration was adjusted to about 3×10⁵ per ml of water. Delaware grape plants were inoculated by spraying the underside of leaves with a De Vilbiss atomizer until small drops were observed on the leaves. The inoculated plants were incubated in a mist chamber for 24 hours at 20° C. The plants were then removed to a controlled environmental room at 20° C. Disease control values were recorded as percent control seven days after inoculation.

Rice Blast (RB)

Cultures of Pyricularia oyrzae were maintained on potato dextrose agar for two to three week. The spores were washed from the agar with water containing I drop of Tween 80 per 100 After filtering the spore suspension through two layers of cheese cloth, the spore count was adjusted to 5×10⁵. The spore suspension was sprayed onto 12-day old rice plants, cultivar M-1, using a DeVilbiss atomizer. The inoculated plants were placed in a humidity at chamber 20° C. for 36 hours to allow for infection. After the infection period the plants were placed in the greenhouse. After 6 days, the plants were scored for disease control. Disease control values were recorded as percent control.

Cucumber Downy Mildew (CDM)

Cucumber plants were maintained in the greenhouse. Large, fully expanded leaves were collected from the plates. The stems were wrapped with cotton, the leaves were placed in a large petri plate (15-cm. diameter) and the leaves were supported by glass rods. The upper cover of the plate was removed and the upper surface of the detached cucumber leaf was sprayed with the compounds of the present invention. The leaf was allowed to dry in the air for approximately 2 hours. The cultures of Pseudoperonospora cubensis were maintained on cucumber plants. After extracting the spores by shaking the leaves in water, the lower surface of the treated cucumber leaves were sprayed with a spore concentration of 100,000 spores per ml. The plates were returned to a controlled environmental chamber at 20° C. and 90% humidity for five days. After this time, leaves were examined for disease development. Disease control values were recorded as percent control.

Cucumber Anthracnose (CA)

The fungal pathogen Colletotrichum lagenarium was cultured on potato dextrose agar (PDA) in the dark at 22 C for a period of 8 to 14 days. Spores of C. lagenarium were removed from the PDA plates by flooding the plate surface with distilled water, amended with 0.5% v/w of yeast extract. The upper surface of the fungal colony was scraped with a blunt instrument until most of the spores were released into the aqueous environment. The spore suspension was filtered though cheesecloth, and the spore count was adjusted by adding more water, containing the yeast extract, until 3.0×10⁶ spores per ml was achieved.

The chemically-treated cucumber plants were 15-days old, cultivar Bush Champion. The upper leaf surface of the plants were sprayed with the spore suspension until runoff, using a hand-held pump spray bottle. The plants were placed in a fluorescent-lighted mist chamber (12 hr light, 12 hr dark) for 48 hours. After that infection period, the plants were placed in a growth chamber for 3 days at 25 C and 90% humidity. The treated plants were then evaluated for disease control. Disease control values were recorded as percent control.

Botrytis of Sweet Bell Peppers (BOT)

The fungal pathogen Botrytis cinerea was cultured on potato dextrose agar (PDA) under fluorescent lights (12 hr on, 12 hr off) for a period of 2 to 3 weeks. Spores of B. cinerea were removed from the PDA plates by flooding the plate surface with distilled water, amended with 0.5% v/w of yeast extract. The upper surface of the fungal colony was scraped with a rubber instrument until most of the spores were released into the aqueous environment. The spore suspension was filtered though cheesecloth, and the spore count was adjusted by adding more water, containing the yeast extract, until 3.0×10⁶ spores per ml was achieved.

Chemically-treated sweet bell pepper plants were 19-days old, cultivar California Wonder. The entire leaf surface of the plants were sprayed with the spore suspension until runoff, using a DeVilbiss atomizer. The plants were placed in a low light mist chamber (12 hr light, 12 hr dark) at 22 C for 4 or 5 days. The treated plants were then evaluated for disease control. Disease control values were recorded as percent control.

The compounds of this invention are useful as agricultural fungicides and, as such, can be applied to various loci such as the seed, the soil or the foliage of plants to be protected.

The compounds of this invention can be applied as fungicidal sprays by methods commonly employed, such as conventional high-volume hydraulic sprays, low-volume sprays, air-blast spray, aerial sprays and dusts. The dilution and rate of application will depend upon the type of equipment employed, the method of application, plants to be treated and diseases to be controlled. Generally, the compounds of this invention will be applied in amount of from about 0.005 kilogram to about 50 kilograms per hectare and preferably from about 0.025 to about 25 kilograms per hectare of the active ingredient.

As a seed protectant, the amount of toxicant coated on the seed is usually at a dosage rate of from about 0.05 to about 20, preferably from about 0.05 to about 4, and more preferably from about 0.1 to about 1 grams per hundred kilograms of seed. As a soil fungicide the chemical can be incorporated in the soil or applied to the surface usually at a rate of from about 0.02 to about 20, preferably from about 0.05 to about 10, and more preferably from about 0.1 to about 5 kilograms per hectare. As a foliar fungicide, the toxicant is usually applied to growing plants at a rate of from about 0.01 to about 10, preferably from about 0.02 to 5, and more preferably from about 0.25 to about 1 kilograms per hectare.

Inasmuch as the compounds of this invention display fungicidal activity, these compounds can be combined with other known fungicides to provide broad spectrum activity. Suitable fungicides include, but are not limited to, those compounds listed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,252,594 (see in particular columns 14 and 15). Other known fungicides which an be combined with the compounds of this invention are dimethomorph, cymoxanil, thifluzamide, furalaxyl, ofurace, benalaxyl, oxadixyl, propamocarb, cyprofuram, fenpiclonil, fludioxonil, pyrimethanil, cyprodinil, triticonazole, fluquinconazole, metconazole, spiroxamine, carpropamid, azoxystrobin, kresoxim-methyl, metominostrobin and trifloxystrobin.

EXAMPLE 13

Numerous compounds of this invention were tested for insecticidal activity in vivo against the insects described below. The following test method was used to evaluate compounds of the present invention for insecticidal activity. The compound to be evaluated was dissolved in an appropriate solvent, usually a mix of acetone, methanol and water, and sprayed over three excised leaf disks using a flat fan nozzle. After spraying, the leaf disks were allowed to dry. Two disks were infested with the leaf chewing insects (southern armyworm and Mexican bean beetle) and the third leaf disk was already infested with the two-spotted spider mite prior to spraying. The tested insect species were:

AW southern armyworm Spodotera eridamia

BB Mexican bean beetle Epilachna varivestis

MTA two-spotted spider mite Teranychus uricate

Observations as percent control were made by visual inspection 24-48 hours after spraying.

When tested against southern army worm at 300 grams per hectare compounds 1.11, 1.102, and 1.105 provided 90% or better control and when tested at 150 grams per hectare compounds 1.14, 2.19, 2.28, 3.28A provided 90% or better control.

When tested against Mexican bean beetle at 300 grams/hectare compounds 1.11, 1.22A, 1.22B, 1.27, 1.61A, 1.67, 1.94, 1.102, 1.105, 1.116, 1.116A, 2.11, 3.11, provided 90% or better control and when tested at 150 grams per hectare compounds 1.14, 2.11A, 2.12A, 2.19, 2.24, 2.25A, 2.25B, 2.27, 2.28, 2.34, 3.11A, 3.11B, 3.12A, 3.14A, 3.19A, 3.24A, 3.25A, 3.26A, 3.27, 3.28A, 3.33A, 3.34A, 11.02A, 12.02A, 11.50A and 11.98A provided 90 % or better control.

When tested against two-spotted spider mite at 300 grams/hectare compounds 1.11, 1.22A, 1.271.61A, 1.61B, 1.67, 1.94, 1.102, 1.105, 1.116, and 1.116A provided 90% or better control and when tested at 150 grams per hectare compounds 1.14, 2.12A, 2.14A, 2.19, 2.20A, 2.22A, 2.23A, 2.24, 2.26A, 2.27, 2.28, 2.34. 3.12A, 3.14A, 3.19A, 3.20A, 3.23A, 3.26A, 3.27, 3.28A, 3.33A, 3.34 and 11.50A provided 90% or better control.

The compositions and compounds of this invention can be applied directly to the locus to be protected, as for example, the area around or upon economic plants infected with insects or to plants on which infestation is to be prevented. Examples of injurious insects belong to the orders Lepidoptera, Coleoptera, Diptera, Thysanoptera, Hymenoptera, Heteroptera, Homoptera, Orthoptera, and Acarina. The compounds and compositions may be used either as contact or systemic pesticides. The compounds of the invention are applied to the insect's habitat at a rate of 0.0005 to 10 kilograms per hectare, preferably 0.05 to 5 and most preferably from 0.1 to 1 kilogram per hectare.

In the practice of the method of the invention, the active compound may be applied to the soil or foliage where it is absorbed by the plant, translocated to other plant parts and ultimately ingested by the pest or insects by means of ingestion of the plant part(s). This means of application is referred to as systemic application. Alternatively, the active compound may be applied to the soil and contacted therein with the insects and other pests to be controlled. This means of application is referred to as soil application. In another alternative, the active compound may be foliarly applied to the plants to be freed from insects and other pests which feed on the foliage.

Compositions and formulations according to the present invention may also include known pesticidal compounds. This expands the spectrum of activity of the preparation and may give rise to synergism. Suitable insecticides known in the art include those listed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,075,471, see in particular columns 14 and 15.

The compounds of the present invention can be used in the form of compositions or formulations. Examples of the preparation of compositions and formulations can be found in the American Chemical Society publication "Pesticidal Formulation Research," (1969), Advances in Chemistry Series No. 86, written by Wade Van Valkenburg; and the Marcel Dekker, Inc. publication "Pesticide Formulations", (1973) edited by Wade Van Valkenburg. In these compositions and formulations, the active substance is mixed with conventional inert agronomically acceptable (i.e., plant compatible and/or pesticidally inert) pesticide diluents or extenders such as solid carrier material or liquid carrier material, of the type usable in conventional pesticide compositions or formulations. By "agronomically acceptable carrier" is meant any substance which can be used to dissolve, disperse of diffuse the active ingredient in the composition without impairing the active ingredient's effectiveness and which by itself has no significant detrimental effect on the soil, equipment, desirable plants, or agronomic environment. If desired, adjuvants such as surfactants, stabilizers, antifoam agents and anti-drift agents may also be combined.

Examples of compositions and formulations according to the invention are aqueous solutions and dispersions, oily solutions and oil dispersions, pastes, dusting powders, wettable powders, emulsifiable concentrates, flowables, granules, baits, invert emulsions, aerosol compositions and fumigating candles. Wettable powders, pastes, flowables and emulsifiable concentrates are concentrated preparations which are diluted with water before or during use. In such formulations, the compounds are extended with a liquid or solid carrier and, when desired, suitable surfactants are incorporated. Baits are preparations generally comprising a food or other substance attractive to insects, that includes at least one compound of the instant invention.

It is usually desirable, particularly in the case of foliar spray formulations, to include adjuvants, such as wetting agents, spreading agents, dispersing agents, stickers, adhesive and the like in accordance with agricultural practices. A listing of such adjuvants commonly used in the art, and a discussion of adjuvants, can be found in many references, such as in the John W. McCutcheon, Inc. publication "Detergents and Emulsifiers, Annual."

The active compounds of the present invention may be employed alone or in the form of mixtures with one another and/or with such solid and/or liquid dispersible carrier vehicles and/or with other known compatible active agents, especially plant protection agents, such as other insecticides, arthropodicides, nematicides, fungicides, bactericides, rodenticides, herbicides, fertilizers, growth-regulating agents, synergists.

In the compositions of the invention, the active compound is present in an amount substantially between about 0.0001 (1:999,999)-99 (99:1) % by weight. For compositions suitable for storage or transportation, the amount of active ingredient is preferably between about 0.5 (1:199)-90 (9:1) % by weight, and more preferably between about 1 (1:99)-75 (3:1) % by weight of the mixture. Compositions suitable for direct application or field application generally contain the active compound in an amount substantially between about 0.0001 (1:999,999)-95 (19:1) %, preferably between about 0.0005 (1:199,999)-90 (9:1) % by weight, and more preferably between about 0.001 (1:99,999)-75 (3:1) % by weight of the mixture. The composition can also be stated as a ratio of the compound to the carrier. In the present invention the weight ratio of these materials (active compound/carrier) can vary from 99:1 (99%) to 1:4 (20%) and more preferably from 10:1 (91%) to 1:3 (25%).

In general, the compounds of this invention can be dissolved in certain solvents such as acetone, methanol, ethanol, dimethylformamide, pyridine or dimethyl sulfoxide and such solutions can be diluted with water. The concentrations of the solution can vary from about 1% to about 90% with a preferred range being from about 5% to about 50%.

For the preparation of emulsifiable concentrates, the compound can be dissolved in suitable organic solvents, or a mixture of solvents, together with an emulsifying agent to enhance dispersion of the compound in water. The concentration of the active ingredient in emulsifiable concentrates is usually from about 10% to about 90%, and in flowable emulsion concentrates, can be as high as about 75%.

Wettable powders suitable for spraying, can be prepared by admixing the compound with a finely divided solid, such as clay, inorganic silicate and carbonate, and silica and incorporating wetting agents, sticking agents, and/or dispersing agents in such mixtures. The concentration of active ingredients in such formulations is usually in the range of from about 20% to about 99%, preferably from about 40% to about 75%. A typical wettable powder is made by blending 50 parts of a compound of Formula I, 45 parts of a synthetic precipitated hydrated silicon dioxide and 5 parts of sodium lignosulfonate. In another preparation a kaolin type (Barden) clay is used in place of the synthetic precipitated hydrated silicon dioxide in the above wettable powder, and in another such preparation 25% of the silicon dioxide is replaced with a synthetic sodium silicoaluminate.

Dusts are prepared by mixing compounds of Formula I, or the enantiomorphs, salts and complexes thereof with finely divided inert solids which can be organic or inorganic in nature. Materials useful for this purpose include botanical flours, silicas, silicates, carbonates and clays. One convenient method of preparing a dust is to dilute a wettable powder with a finely divided carrier. Dust concentrates containing from about 20% to about 80% of the active ingredient are commonly made and are subsequently diluted to from about 1% to about 10% use concentration.

The active compounds can be applied as insecticide sprays by methods commonly employed, such as conventional high-gallonage hydraulic sprays, low gallonage sprays, ultra-low-volume sprays, airblast spray, aerial sprays, and dusts.

The present invention also contemplates methods of killing, combating or controlling pests which comprises contacting pests with a combative or toxic amount (i.e. a pesticidally effective amount) of at least one active compound of the invention alone or together with a carrier vehicle (composition or formulation) as noted above. The term "contacting" as employed in the specification and claims means applying to at least one of (a) such pests and (b) the corresponding habit at thereof (i.e., the locus to be protected, for example, to a growing crop or to an area where a crop is to be grown) the active compound of this invention alone or as a constituent of a composition or formulation.

In addition to the aforementioned ingredients the preparations according to the invention may also contain other substances commonly used in preparations of this kind. For example, a lubricant, such as calcium stearate or magnesium stearate, may be added to a wettable powder or to a mixture to be granulated. Furthermore there may, for example, be added "adhesives" such as polyvinylalcohol-cellulose derivatives or other colloidal materials, such as casein, to improve the adherence of the pesticide to the surface to be protected.
